Call for Papers
In the age of Big Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Mining, an aspect often overlooked is the interactive and visual usability of frameworks, tools, and concepts used for ingesting and analyzing large quantities of data. This workshop focuses on aspects related to exactly this, i.e. how do we improve the interaction and usability of modern data mining approaches and how do make them accessible, understandable, and useful to non-experts.
Taking an agnostic view of the application scenario, the workshop intends to serve as a forum for researchers and practitioners working at all levels of abstraction with data mining technologies. Interaction and interactive in the context of the workshop should be seen as anything from UI/UX-related aspects of visual interfaces, to more hands-on interaction with software and hardware used in the general areas of data mining, machine learning, and other concepts related broadly to artificial intelligence.
The aim of this workshop is to explore existing and new interactive methods in machine learning and data mining that help the users to take better, and more informed, decisions. The primary audience of the workshop is researchers and practitioners in data mining from academia and industry with an interest in interaction with and interactivity of data mining approaches.
The goal of this workshop is to share and discuss research and projects that focus on interaction with and interactivity of data mining systems.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Papers must be submitted in PDF according to the new ACM Guidelines.
- Research papers, presenting work in progress, lessons learnt, positions, emerging or future research issues and directions on interactivity of data mining approaches.
- Demos: We are particularly interested in demos coming from industry proposing novel interactive designs that are accessible, understandable, and useful to non-experts (4 pages). Please share a screenshot of your demo and url link (e.g., vimeo, youtube) in the text of the 4 pages paper.
- Single-blind peer review format will be used.
- We welcome submissions in either long (6-8 pages) or short (4-pages) format, plus up to one additional page of references.
- Submitted papers will be reviewed by at least two independent referees from the Program Committee.
- Papers must be submitted electronically via EasyChair at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wsdmidm2019
- Accepted papers will be published in the ACM's International Conference Proceedings Series (ICPS).
